Our promise to you

Supporters drive everything we do at Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. With no day to day government funding; it is only thanks to your generosity that we have been able to save thousands of lives in our local community.

We’re committed to making sure that we use donations as effectively as possible, and that we’re providing the highest levels of customer service and care to our supporters. Giving to us should be a great experience and so we have developed this Supporter Promise.
